摘要： A differential driver includes two feedback loops 20 and 22, and two inverter pairs 24 and 26. The two feedback loops 20 and 22 regulate the source voltages for the two inverter pairs 24 and 26 to the reference voltages VREFHI and VREFLO. The two inverter pairs 24 and 26 switch the output load RL and CL between the two regulated voltages in response to the input voltages IN+ and IN−. The reference voltages VREFHI and VREFLO are created by a reference cell and set the output high and low voltages.

摘要： A method is provided. A multi-amplitude signal is received and downconverted so as to generate I and Q signals using a local oscillator signal. The I and Q signals are equalized, and the equalized I and Q signals are digitized. First and second gains are adjusted with the second and first digital signals, respectively, and applied to the equalized I and Q signals, respectively. The difference between the first and second amplified signals is determined, and an error signal is generated from the difference between the first and second amplified signals. The local oscillator signal is then adjusted with the error signal.

摘要： A method for equalizing a received signal is provided. The signal is filtered and transmitted over a channel using an encoding scheme, where the encoding scheme has transmit symbols. This transmitted signal is then shaped such that the filtering and equalization adjust a set of taps in an equalization window so that the taps from the set are substantially equal to one another. Inter-symbol interference is then compensated for in the equalized signal using a speculative DFE with significantly reduced comparator levels.

摘要： Pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are commonly used for high frequency applications; however, operating at high sampling rates will often result in high power consumption or tight timing constraints. Here, though, an ADC is provided that allows for relaxed timing (which enables a high sampling rate) with low power consumption. This is accomplished through the use of multiplexed, front-end track-and-hold (T/H) circuits that sample on non-overlapping portions of a clocking signal in conjunction with “re-used” or shared analog processing circuitry.

摘要： A switched current source is provided. The switched current source is generally comprised of transistors and resistors, and the source has a high output impedance. Included with the switched current source is an error correction transistor and a resistor that cooperate to feed a current back through a bias transistor to correct an error that generally results from the current gains or β's of transistors within the switched current source. To accomplish this, however, the resistor is selected to have a value that is sufficiently large such that current from the error correction transistor flows back through the bias transistor.

摘要： Various logic gates and methods for using such are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments of the present invention provide parallel differential logic gates. Such logic gates include two or more differential input pairs. The collectors of the first transistors in each of the differential pairs are all electrically coupled to an upper voltage via a first load resistor. Similarly, the collectors of the second transistors in each of the differential pairs are all electrically coupled to an upper voltage via a second load resistor. Depending upon the relative values selected for the first and second load resistors, the gate operates as an AND gate or an OR gate.
